Of the 4. Quarters in the yeare
1 The Quarters foure in all the year are theseMarch twentie fiue is cald our Lady-day,Or the Anun-tia-ti-on if you please,Of blessed Marie by that man of ioy.I meane the Angell Gabriell which did come,With newes frō heauē that she shuld mother beOf Iesus Christ Gods deare & only sonne,Which story in the Scripture all may see.
2 The second quarter hapneth still in Iune,And Saint Iohn Baptists day we doe it call:Or Midsommer in English speach or tune,The yeare is then at best as it will fall.

4 The fourth and last falls in December still,And Christmas quarter men doe cal the sameGod grant vs in them all to doe Gods will.And so to thriue in body, goods, and name.
